Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about adding color to grayscale images.
How does the AI restoration process work?+
Our advanced AI has been trained on millions of color-grayscale image pairs. It analyzes the content of your image — recognizing faces, objects, landscapes — and predicts realistic colors based on what it has learned. The entire process is fully automatic and takes 5-15 seconds per image.
What file formats are supported?+
We support JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. Maximum file size is 10MB. For best results, use clear grayscale images with good contrast and resolution. Very small or heavily compressed images may produce less accurate results.
Will my images be stored or shared?+
No. Your privacy is important to us. All images are processed in real-time and immediately discarded after the result is generated. We do not store, share, or use your uploads for any purpose other than providing the service.
How many images can I process for free?+
Without signing up, you can colorize up to 3 images per day. Create a free account to get 5 free colorizations per day plus 30 welcome credits. For unlimited processing and higher resolution output, you can upgrade to our paid plans which also include batch processing and priority speed.
What types of images work best?+
Portraits, family photos, and well-lit scenes generally produce the best results. The AI excels at skin tones, clothing, natural landscapes, and everyday objects. Images that are extremely blurry, severely scratched, or have very low resolution may have less accurate color reproduction.
Can I restore old damaged images?+
Yes, but results depend on the condition of the original. If your image has scratches, tears, or fading, we recommend restoring it first using a repair tool. Our AI focuses on adding color rather than damage repair. For heavily damaged photos, the color output may be less accurate in damaged areas.
How is this different from Photoshop or manual work?+
Traditional restoration in Photoshop requires hours of manual work — selecting areas, choosing colors, and blending layers. Our AI does this automatically in seconds with no technical skills required. While professional designers may prefer manual control for artistic projects, our tool is perfect for quickly bringing memories back to life.
Can I use restored images commercially?+
Yes, you own the rights to the restored images you create. However, please ensure that you have the rights to the original grayscale image before processing it. You are responsible for obtaining proper permissions for any images you do not own.

Colorize a Photo Now →Revitalize Vintage Memories — Add Color to Historic Images
Transform forgotten memories into vivid stories. Our AI-powered service analyzes every pixel of your grayscale imagery and applies natural-looking colors in seconds. Perfect for restoring family heirlooms, historical archives, and personal keepsakes — all at no cost.
The Challenge of Manual Restoration
Traditional color restoration in Photoshop requires hours of meticulous work — selecting regions, choosing colors, and blending layers for each individual image. Professional services can charge $50-200 per restoration. We eliminate both the cost and the learning curve, making professional-quality results accessible to everyone for free. One click transforms any grayscale image into something vibrant — no design skills required.
Getting Started Is Simple
All you need is a grayscale image in JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP format (maximum 10MB). For best results, use images that are reasonably clear and well-exposed. Very blurry or severely damaged photos may produce less accurate results, but the AI will still do its best to bring colors back. No software to download, no account to create, and no credit card required — just upload your image and let our AI work its magic.
Endless Creative Possibilities
Once you download your restored image, the possibilities are endless. Many users print restored family photos on canvas or create photo books as gifts. Others share their work on social media — vintage portraits with modern colors perform exceptionally well on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Historians and educators bring archival images to life for exhibitions and teaching materials. Genealogists enrich family trees with restored imagery. Content creators use restored historical photos to make articles more engaging. Whatever your use case, we help you transform monochrome memories into colorful stories.
Tips for Optimal Results
While our AI produces excellent results for most images, there are situations where color accuracy may vary. Photos with heavy scratches, tears, or water damage, very small or low-resolution images, and extremely high-contrast grayscale photos may challenge the model. The AI predicts colors based on statistical patterns — it cannot know actual colors of objects never commonly photographed in color, such as certain vintage clothing or specific historical artifacts. For best results, use the highest quality scan available. Scanning at 600 DPI or higher, ensuring good focus and exposure, and gently cleaning dust or scratches before scanning will all contribute to better outcomes.
Stand Out From the Crowd
Unlike many other restoration tools that require downloads, subscriptions, or force watermarks, we offer genuinely free service with no strings attached. No watermarks, no email signup required, and we never store your images on our servers. Our AI is one of the most advanced open-source models available, consistently producing more realistic skin tones and natural colors than older alternatives. Try it today and see the difference AI can make for your cherished memories!
